The need for continuous and real-time monitoring of gas emission in mines, tunnels, and industrial plants and facilities has propelled the demand for wireless gas detection. The growing demand for wireless framework of the gas detectors is attributed to the ease of deployments in various hazardous conditions such as those faced by military and security personnel. The advent of flexible and scalable wireless gas detection system offers a through multi-point monitoring of toxic gases across a facility or plant. This is bolstering the demand for wireless gas detection system. The stricter implementation of regulations pertaining to workers’ safety in several manufacturing industries, coupled with the need for mitigating risks, has boosted the deployment of wireless gas detection systems in several developing and developed nations. The development of intuitive and user-friendly solutions in wireless gas detection is contributing to its growth in various regions.

The global wireless gas detection market is forecast to rise at a CAGR of 9.4% during the period 2017–2022. Expanding at this pace, the market estimated with worth US$1,130.8 Mn in 2017 is anticipated to reach US$1,771.4 Mn by the end of the forecast period.

On the basis of product type, the wireless gas detection market is segmented into oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and others. Among these, the other segment hold the major revenue in the market currently. The segment is anticipated to rise from a valuation of US$ 371.2 Mn in 2017 to US$ 493.1 Mn by 2022 end. This will represent an incremental decline in share from 32.8% in 2017 to 30.1% by the end of the forecast period. The segment is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2017 to 2022. This represents an estimated growth of US$ 24.4 Mn annually during the forecast timeline.

North America Expected to be Leading Contributor of Global Revenue

Regionally, North America leads the market vis-à-vis revenue. The regional market is projected to rise from US$ 302.6 Mn in 2017 to reach a valuation of US$ 470.6 Mn by 2022 end. This accounts for a CAGR of 9.2% from 2017 to 2022. The growth is primarily driven by the wide demand for wireless gas detection system for real-time monitoring of gases in various end-use industries.
